I installed and configured drone with two runners docker and SSH. All build steps are run correctly on docker, whoever for ssh runner I’m getting ssh - clone: skipped.

My `.drone.yml` is as follows:

```auto
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: default

steps:
  - name: echo branch
    image: alpine
    commands:
      - echo ${DRONE_BRANCH}

---
kind: pipeline
type: ssh
name: ssh

server:
  host: ******
  user: ******
  ssh_key:
    from_secret: ssh_key

steps:
  - name: deploy-app
    commands:
      - echo ${DRONE_BRANCH}
      - ./publish.sh ${DRONE_BRANCH}

```

I’m using docker-compose to setup server and runners and both runners are sharing same file with: DRONE\_RPC\_SECRET, DRONE\_RPC\_HOST, DRONE\_RPC\_PROTO

What I’m doing wrong?

Apologies, I uploaded the wrong screenshot.  
Here is the one with error visible:

I found out that the clone: skipping issue was caused by using secrets in build step. In fact I’m not able yet to properly use secrets in drone.  
For SSH it caused “clone: skipping” and docker plugin fails on registry login if I use “from\_secret” notation.
